When Santhanam turned Nambiyaar!

Actor Srikanth‘s next upcoming film Nambiyaar is all set to hit screens on August 19.

Srikanth is not only acting in this film along with Sunainaa and Santhanam but is also producing it.

Says a source close to the unit of the film, “For Tamil film fans, MGR has always been the hero while Nambiyaar has always been the villain. The film unit want ed to put across the point that in each and every individual’s heart, there’s a little bit of MGR and a little bit of Nambiyaar. Santhanam plays Nambiyaar, which is basically an imaginary character that is a part of Srikanth’s conscience. So, there are portions in the film when you will see Srikanth speaking in Santhanam’s voice.”

That apart, Santhanam is also believed to have sung a song in this film. Says the source, “The song had to be delivered just like how a drunkard would sing it. It was a challenging number but Santhanam completed recording for it in less than an hour.”
